“Thankfully, we now live in a world where it is accepted that data breaches happen and organisations are more comfortable disclosing that they have been victim to an attack. However, with this welcome move away from victim blaming, organisations are now being judged more on how well they manage a breach.” – Brian Honan, ComputerWeekly
Over the last few years the number of cyber incidents has grown, affecting organisations large and small. High profile incidents such as Sony, TalkTalk, and the Petya and NHS ransomware attacks, have had a major impact on the operations and reputation of the organisations.
Our BCT Certificate in Cyber Incident Management training course is not a technical response, but looks at the actions organisations can take to prepare themselves, and how they should manage a cyber incident, including very importantly, how to manage communications associated with the incident. It will also look at the types of cyber attacks, the cyber landscape and how to exercise your cyber response plan.
Delegates will learn how to prepare their organisation, how to develop an effective response and how to manage an incident should it occur.
The BCT Certificate in Cyber Incident Management course is based on good practice from a variety of government and private organisations. The course has been certified by NCSC and is the only certified course which deals with reputational issues associated with the preparing for and responding to a cyber incident.
